Those who understand business will understand why the away end is priced more then the home end. Those who don't understand business will moan about it.

I'm sure if Wigan could be guaranteed to sell out the away end they would have being no extra cost.

And sit with the clientele who later bricked coaches?
Ok.

You say that but I could geniunely name 10 people, including myself, who I know go regular who didn't go today. It's no skin off my nose really but to have less of a crowd for a Sunday 3pm than last years televised 8pm Friday game perhaps speaks volumes.

Brett Finch was outstanding for you never seen a half back talk as much as he does.

This is such a stupid comment. I am studying a degree in economic and it really is funny to see someone make such an silly comment.

Prove it

He's one of the best organisers I've ever seen at Wigan. Just hope he wasn't playing against his future employers!

I don't understand business so please explain the difference in prices !

you could ask them on here too, wigan also charge away fans more than home supporters for opposite stands, but that gets brushed under the carpet!!

You know exactly what I'm saying, fussy Sir.
Your fellow FC fans don't have a good reputation. I'm not saying ALL but there is a bit of a reputation.

Infact, the very idea was sounded on here. It was quickly dropped at the though of what COULD welcome us.

You've no proof of that and I must have missed it when 10,000 FC fans started running at Wigan coaches with bricks. I dare even say the people who threw the bricks probably never even set foot in the ground.

On the pricing structure I was shocked to hear it was only a couple of quid more to get in at the North stand, I was under the impression on all the drama on here it was like an extra tenner. The last thing I think about when going to a game is how much it is to get in, I just estimate at around £20 but it wouldn't put me off if it was anymore. As long as I get to see my team play that is all that matters.

No complaints from me,we were outplayed,pure and simple.After resigning myself that we were going to get mullered,I was hoping it was going to be a learning curve for our young players.


As for the bricking incident I am sure the majority of Hull fans are just as sick of it as your fans are.

I'm past the degree stage mate.

Its simple really.

To open that stand it costs the same as the south stand, with no guarantee that the stand will even be a quarter full, it becomes more a case of keeping your losses to a minimum then actually making money. Considering the club itself makes no money on food or drink, which many think we do.

The home end will always be around 60 - 70% full so therefore the costs are easier to cover meaning the prices can be cheaper.

Its maybe not common practice in Rugby League but a lot of places will charge more for away fans.

Excellent all-round performance, great completion rate in very wet conditions (especially 2nd half) but still prepared to throw the ball around. OK, a badly weakened Hull team, admittedly, but we'd have beaten most teams playing like that.

McIlorum was superb, really organised and controlled the game as a good hooker should - and both halves profited from that, plus complete dominance by our forwards, especially Lima and Prescott, looking forward to seeing their stats when they come out...and Hansen deserves special mention too for all his work and some great hits. Hock was a monster early on, but seemed to tire early, or did he pick up a knock?

Even Ganson had a half-decent game, maybe because the TV cameras weren't there?
